Britain's Best Chance Olympic Games Yachting Is With The Finn Monotype

By JOHN FISHER

London.

Olympic selectors were afloat at Torbay last week-end to pick two small-boat helmsmen to sail for Britain at Helsinki. Their choice, if exercised wisely, may pro- duce, for the single-handed class at least, a gold medallist to match the award won by Stewart Morris in the Swallow class during the 1948 Olympics here.

Nevertheless, failure to pick the right man would not be entirely the fault of. the committee, if weather conditions at Helsinki are radically different from those in which the British trials are held.

GLORIOUS S SUCCESS AND GLORIOUS FAILURE ALL IN THREE DAYS OF GOLF

Glorious success, and glorious failure. Tom Haliburton ex- perienced both in three days of 'Golf. Tom, a 37-year-old Scot from Rhu, Dumbartonshire, was playing in the £1,350 Spalding tournament, at Worthing's seaside course. On the first day, he went round in 61, an all-time record for British major tournament play.

He beat by one stroke the previous lowest of 62, made by Australia's Peter Thompson in the North British tournament at Harrogate last year.

His succesa was acclaimed by fellow players and spectators alike.

For few players are more highly regarded than this modest, retiring Scot, who, with his stylish play and perfect demeanour on the links, has put so much into the game and gained so little material roword. He has had only one major success, the Daily Mall £2,500 tournament at Glasgow in 1949.
